Open-source tool removes Apple Intelligence data to free up 12GB on macOS

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

A new open-source command-line tool named RemoveMacAI has been developed to help macOS users reclaim storage space by deleting Apple Intelligence data. This tool effectively disables Apple's AI features, including Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, and the ChatGPT extension, while also removing the associated AI models which can occupy around 12GB of disk space. The developer created RemoveMacAI to replicate the functionality of a previously removed settings toggle, ensuring that users can manage these features and their storage footprint on their Macs. AI

IMPACT Enables users to reclaim significant storage space on their devices by managing AI feature data.
